History
As part of the 2000–2006 municipal reorganization in Quebec, the City of Cookshire-Eaton was created on July 24, 2002 by the merger of the city of Cookshire, the municipality of Eaton, and the township municipality of Newport. Following a 2004 referendum Newport de-merged and became an independent municipality again on January 1, 2006.
The 2004 Quebec municipal referendums were held by the Quebec Liberal Party government of Jean Charest that came to power in the 2003 Quebec election, in fulfillment of a campaign promise to allow voters to have a say regarding the municipal reorganization program that had been undertaken by the preceding Parti Québécois administration.
However, the legislation governing the de-merger process provided for the creation of a new municipal structure, an urban agglomeration, which would continue to tie de-merged cities to their former partners for the provision of various municipal services.
The Estrie is an administrative region of Quebec that mostly overlaps the Eastern Townships. Estrie, a French neologism, was coined as a derivative of est, "east".
The 2000–2006 municipal reorganization in Quebec resulted in large-scale amalgamation (merging) of smaller municipalities in Quebec into larger cities. It was undertaken by one administration, and modified and partially undone by its successor.
Montreal was one of the cities in Quebec affected by the 2000–2006 municipal reorganization in Quebec. On January 1, 2002, all the municipalities on the island of Montreal were merged into the city of Montreal.
The urban agglomeration of Quebec City is an urban agglomeration in Quebec. It may also be referred to as the urban agglomeration of the city of Québec.
Route 212 is a two-lane east/west highway in the Estrie region in the province of Quebec, Canada. It begins in the city of Cookshire at a junction with Route 108 and runs through Newport, La Patrie and Notre-Dame-des-Bois before reaching its terminal at Route 161 in the village of Woburn.
The province of Quebec is divided into units at the regional, supralocal and local levels. The primary types of subdivision are administrative regions, regional county municipalities (RCMs), metropolitan communities (CMs), the Kativik Regional Government (KRG), unorganized territories (TNOs), agglomerations, northern villages, Cree villages, Naskapi villages, and a variety of local units which may collectively be referred to as local municipalities and boroughs.
The urban agglomeration of Longueuil was created on January 1, 2006 as a result of the de-amalgamation process brought upon by the Charest government. It encompasses all the boroughs that were merged into the previous city of Longueuil and still retains the same area as that mega-city.
